Cupcakes!

So, daughter wants to have a cupcake sale to make some money for the APAC group. APAC = Association for a Pet Adoption Center. They are trying to raise money to build a no kill shelter.

It was decided that these cupcakes would be the jumbo size – not cake size but bigger than the standard cupcakes. It takes just as much time to make standard cupcakes as it does to make the jumbo size, so we were going for the larger size since we could charge more for them. Four recipes were decided upon and at the last minute a fifth was added. They were Pink Lemonade, Margarita, Chocolate Martini, FlipFlops and Reeses PB Cups. We started in around 1:00 making them. (Late start was due to the supply shopping and a drs. appt.)

I have to say, we had lots of fun. The baking and decorating took place at my house since I had the most equipment AND the Kitchen Aide mixer. We had to be done by 5:00 so the daughter could take them to the APAC meeting and get approval for the cupcake sale. Here are a few of the cupcakes we made. Those Flip Flop cupcakes really turned out soooo cute!
